She was also a piano and voice teacher in the Snellville community for five years. She has a strong passion for community journalism and giving locals a voice.
She and her husband, Paul, have two wonderful preschool-age children.
<strong>Beliefs</strong>: <i>At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. We hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will cause us to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence we failed in this mission, please let us know</i>.
<strong>Politics</strong>: I consider myself moderate, and, while I always have a strong opinion, I often can see both sides. I believe in voting for the person, not the party, and do not vote along party lines.
<strong>Religion</strong>: My faith is one of the most important things in my life. I'll tell you more over coffee!
